Arm chair travels and art

We armchair traveled to Paris today and painted like the Masters. To get us in the mood we donned our hats, turned on our Parisian songs. We had images of the Eiffel tower, and flowers to inspire us and a few paintings by Monet scattered around the table. We had a blast! Everyone was engaged and the activity started our week off to a great start.

We have gone to the Dogs!

We had a very interesting doggy day at Memory Matters, it was Shammy's birthday and we celebrated it like all of our other birthday's with cake, balloons and laughter. The only thing is Shammy is a dog, a big dog, she is the "doggy niece" of our friend and volunteer Kerri. Kerri's BABY Onslo came along for the party, weighing in at 195 lbs, Onslo is one big boy!  We all had a great time and Shammy even received gifts. The best  part was watching our friend Joni connect with the dogs, Joni loves dogs and got right down on the floor to make Shammy feel right at home. What a great doggy day! Thanks to Kathleen, Kerri and Ron for sharing there big baby's with us.
